Morans Falls

Morans Falls is an 80-metre sheer-drop waterfall on Morans Creek, tucked within the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Lamington National Park in Queensland, Australia, near O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat.

The falls plunge dramatically into a densely forested gorge, and their character shifts with the seasons — thunderous after summer rains, softer and mistier during drier months. The falls are reached via the Morans Falls Track, a 4.

4-kilometre return trail leading through ancient subtropical rainforest of booyongs, figs, and brush box.

Two lookouts offer distinct perspectives: one faces the cascading drop, while a second reveals exposed layers of ancient volcanic lava flows that shaped the valley.

At the top of the falls sits a quiet clearing that once held the O'Reilly brothers' first bark hut and now serves as a picnic spot.
